SCMP FOOD & DRINK SECTION

Much to my surprsie and embarrassment Susan Jung, the well regarded Food Editor of the Sunday Post Magazine, mentioned the TangCanCook blog in her section today - December 13th 2009.

SPRY & RETIRING Most food blogs are written by tech-savvy Gen Z-ers but here is one by someone who could be a father, at least, to some of the other bloggers. Raymond Tang of Tang Can Cook (tangcancook.blogspot.com) was born in the mainland and raised in Hong Kong. He starred blogging in April, after his wife launched him on a 'culinary journey' with an exciting 60th birthday present : Basic Cuisine & Patisserie Courses at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute in Sydney, Australia. Of course, Tang is older - much older - than the other students and he often struggled to keep up, but in the end he was successful, receiving certificates in both sections, plus 'distinctions' in organisation, food preparation and presentation, and for following health, safety and security procedures.

Having graduated, Tang continues to pursue his love for food - by eating, not cooking. He posts about restaurants he visits at home in Hong Kong and on his travels : On Lot 10 (on Gough Street in Central) ; Vue de Monde (in Melbourne) ; Tetsuya (in Sydney) and Jadis (in Paris). Susan Jung

Thank you, Susan. I am flattered, you made my Sunday!
